What was the Proclamation of 1763?
The Proclamation of 1763 was an attempt to prevent the colonists from going west and passed the Appalachian Mountains. The British did this to prevent future issues between Native Americans and the colonists. This angered the colonists because they wanted the benefits that would come with the western lands. Naturally, thousands disregarded the imaginary boundary line. The Royal Proclamation of 1763 was sent out by George III on October 7th 1763, restricting American settlement to the Eastern Seaboard area. Americans could not move westward into the Ohio Valley, Tennessee Valley, or south into the Floridas (i.e. the Gulf Coast). It meant that colonists couldn't move farther west than the Appalachian mountains. This upset the colonists because some had already claimed land to the west. The main reason for the rule was that it was costing too much money for the British to keep hostile Indians away from the settlers. It did not succeed because so many colonists were already settled in the area. It was finally altered in 1768 and 1770 to recognize the western settlements.

How did the proclamation of 1763 alarm colonists?
The Proclamation of 1763 alarmed the colonists for a couple of reasons. For one thing, they thought the British were trying to keep them in one place to control them. Secondly, they had been looking forward to moving west after the French and Indian War and this act meant they weren't allowed to move west of the Appalachian Mountains.
